A few years ago there was a riding stables in the Oxted/Godstone area that only used Arab horses. Can't for the life of me remember its name though. Sorry!

I can recommend Glendell Equestrian. They are in Pirbright with hacking straight out onto the Pirbright Ranges.

Just a few pet hates: I occasionally xc collecting ring steward at ODEs and get really wound up when minor names demand to be bumped up the board as they have so many horses to ride and must be back for their dressage in an hour. Had a full on discussion with a couple of professionals at...

For my draft mare either Weatherbeeta or Horseware fit nicely. The Shires chest isn't wide enough. Just discovered that having bought her the chicken print rug. Devasted. Requisite do fit the wider chests, but the quality isn't great.

Hate to say it. But avoid, client of mine has one and we've had some issues. I also not too happy with build of George James Carriages, again another client has one and we've had to have a few parts replaced and strengthened.

My OH and I have a small carriage/horse logging business (most do carriage work) And I work as a free lance groom, mostly for on livery yards to cover staff shortages.

Brendon Manor - Rode with them when twice I was 15, then when I was 25. So that means I'm due for a repeat visit in 2 years time. Rode with my OH when I was 25, I queried the horse they allocated my very novice OH and they changed his mount no questions or arguments. On the downside two of my...

The 'animal communicator' who decided to hang round my mare's neck whilst we were giving wagon rides. My girl hates people putting their arms round her, stroke and pats - yes please! Full on hugs no thanks! She couldn't tell from my mare's body language, fidgeting and flat back ears that she...

Hello! I have two draught horses that might interest you? A comtois and a percheron. I'm in Surrey just off Junc 11 of the M25. Given enough notie I'm available most days.

One of my drafts is rugged, only as I've had her clipped as we've had lots of carriage work to do. But my new girl is out naked, she's lovely and fluffy, came from the edge of Bodmin Moor 4 weeks ago and has never had a rug on (or been in a stable in her life). I am getting the odd comment and...

Comtois and Percheron. I have one of each and they are so easy to train and willing.

Try Blue Horse Equine. They do mainly for heavy horses, but they might have something that will fit your cob.

Yes! Most definitely YES!! And can we have an adaptation for use in the lorry too please?

I've asked this year for harness for new horse. I was delighted last year with a set of ratchet spanners and socket set for the lorry and carriages.

That I can trust her Ladyship with anyone regardless of horse experience, and know that she won't harm or hurt them. And I can throw kids up on her bareback with just a head collar and lead rope and she will just potter round the yard with them on board. Not sure on my new one yet (only got...
